Status Updates From The Sufi Path of Knowledge:...

Ibn Al-Arabi speaks of the 4 objects of knowledge...1. God as Essence, though we cannot know the Essence as such. 2. the cosmos as a whole, that is everything other that God, the macrocosm; 3. the human being, in which all God's attributes are brought together in undifferentiated mode; i.e. the microcosm; 4. the Universal Reality, which brings together all three of these realities.

The Real is denied in one form and accepted in another.

How can you say that God is delimited and say that God is not capable of doing the impossible? Yet you witness in yourself imagination's power over the impossible, though imagination is one of God's creatures.
